More and more Windows newsreaders and commercial NNTP servers are implementing some kind of header compression. This may speed up header downloads tremendously. Giganews has its proprieraty Accelerator, which is supported by their own (Windows) proxy software, but supposedly there is an "open" implementation as well, called XZVER. Here's an article from Astraweb's helpdesk that describes it: http://helpdesk.astraweb.com/index.php?_m=news&_a=viewnews&newsid=9 How hard would it be to implement this in Pan? Failing support, does anyone know of Linux based NNTP proxies/accelerators that support/translate XZVER? Thanks, Pim
